Files by Google is getting a little more of that Material 3 Expressive flair (APK teardown)
Android's file manager tries on some sleeker icons, layouts, and styling.

- Google’s currently updating its Android library with Material 3 Expressive design language.
- Following an initial look last month, we’ve spotted further signs of Files by Google’s M3E redesign.
- The app is experimenting with new, more intuitive icons and some revised screen layouts.
Who doesn’t love reinventing themselves with a new look for summer? When it comes to Google and its Android apps, right now that means gussying them up with a fresh dose of Material 3 Expressive design elements. While the company formally introduced that new look last month, and it’s still going to be a little while before we’re seeing it everywhere, we’ve already managed to spot early efforts to implement it across multiple Google apps. And today we’re adding a little more to that growing list.
